I'm a huge Halloween fan, and was once a fan of Spirit Halloween years ago. I really wanted to like this movie, but it's horrific. I heard this was a kids' movie, so wasn't expecting much, but this was a terrible movie even for a kids' movie. I was hoping for a Goonies type of movie, but it was just so bad. Bad acting. Awful plot. The fact it happens in Spirit Halloween makes zero sense. So, when they built the old Toys R Us store that Spirit took over for the season, it was located in an industrial area? And they built it on top of a giant underground void that has a house built underground?
It's just so bad. The characters are lame, but the over the top acting by a couple of them is ridiculous. I urge you not to waste your time... not even your kids' time. How this movie has a rating north of 4 stars is beyond me. I bought it with the hope it might be okay given the slightly below average rating, but its just hot garbage. Its really much worse than people are scoring it, again, even for a kids' movie.
